Be Perfect As I AM Perfect

You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'

But I tell you, Do not resist an EVIL person.

If someone strikes you on the right check turn to him the other also.

And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic,

Let him have your cloak as well.

If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

Give to the one who asks you,

And do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

'You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

But I tell you: Love those who persecute you,

That you may be sons of your Father in Heaven.

He causes His sun to rise on the EVIL and the Good,

And sends rain on the Righteous and the Unrighteous.

If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?

Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

And if you greet only your brothers,

What are you doing more than others?

Do not even Pagans do that?

Be Perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is Perfect.

(Matthew 5:38-48)

You, there for must be Perfect, as your Heavenly Father is Perfect

[That is, grow into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character,

Having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity]. [Lev. 19:2, 18.]

(Matthew 5:48, AMP)

Be careful not to do your acts of Righteousness before men,

To be seen by them.

If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in Heaven.

So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets,

As the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets,

To be honored by men.

I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

But when you give to the needy,

Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

So that your giving may be in SECRET.

Then your Father, Who sees what is done in SECRET, will reward you.

(Matthew 6:1-4)

'But when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites,

For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners

To be seen by men.

I tell you the truth , they have received their reward in full.

When you pray, go into your room, close the door

And pray to your Father, Who is unseen.

Then your Father, Who is sees what is done in SECRET, will reward you.

And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like Pagans,

For they think they will be heard because of their many words.

Do not be like them,

For your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

This is how you should pray:

'Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your Name,

Your Kingdom come, Your will be done

On earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One.

For if you forgive men when they sin against you,

Your Father in Heaven will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive men their sins,

Your Father will not forgive your sins. (Matthew 6:5-15)

When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do,

For they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting.

I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

But when you fast, put oil on ;your head and wash your face,

So that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting,

But only to your father , Who sees what is done in SECRET,

Will reward you. (Matthew 6:16-18)

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,

Where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

But store up for yourselves Treasures in Heaven,

Where moth and rust do not destroy,

And where thieves do not break in and steal.

For where your Treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The eye is the lamp of the body.

If your eyes are good , your whole body will be full of light.

But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.

If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness.

(Matthew 6:22-23)

No one can serve two masters.

Either he will hate the one and love the other,

Or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

You cannot serve both God and Money. (Matthew 6:24)

Let us allow these words from Christ Jesus

Gain entrance to our hearts,

Understanding that the Kingdom of God is entirely separate from the world;

The world is lost and without hope apart from Christ Jesus;

His Kingdom, and therefore our Kingdom, is not of this world.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
